The 13th century was a significant time for the development of science and philosophy in Europe, particularly with the rise of scholasticism, which aimed to reconcile faith and reason. However, it is important to note that the modern concept of "physicists" as we understand it today did not exist in the 13th century. Scientific inquiry was often conducted by philosophers, theologians, and scholars who were part of larger academic traditions.
Cold fusion refers to a proposed type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature, unlike "hot" fusion which takes place in high-temperature environments like the sun. The concept gained significant attention in 1989 when electrochemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced they had achieved a nuclear fusion reaction at room temperature using a palladium electrode submerged in heavy water (deuterium oxide, D2O).
The Invariant Set Postulate is a concept in the context of dynamical systems, particularly in the fields of mathematics, physics, and economics. It relates to the behavior of systems that evolve over time according to specific rules. The postulate asserts that under certain conditions, there exists a set of states in the phase space of the system that remains unchanged (invariant) over time as the system evolves.
Unparticle physics is a theoretical framework proposed by physicist Howard Georgi in 2007. It focuses on the concept of "unparticles," which are a kind of exotic, scale-invariant matter that does not have a definite mass. This theory suggests that at a certain energy scale, the usual particle description breaks down, and instead, a continuum of degrees of freedom emerges, resembling a "hidden" sector of matter.
Integral equations are mathematical equations in which an unknown function appears under an integral sign. They relate a function with its integrals, providing a powerful tool for modeling a variety of physical phenomena and solving problems in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. There are two main types of integral equations: 1. **Volterra Integral Equations**: These involve an integration over a variable that is limited to a range that depends on one of the variables.
Choquet theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the generalization of certain concepts in measure theory and probability, often centered around the representation of set functions, particularly those that may not necessarily be measures in the traditional sense. The theory is named after Gustave Choquet, who made significant contributions to the area of convex analysis and set functions.
The Banach–Mazur theorem is an important result in functional analysis and topology, specifically concerning the structure of certain topological spaces. While the theorem itself has various formulations and implications, one of its primary forms describes the relationship between Banach spaces and the geometry of their unit balls.
Bornology is a branch of mathematics, specifically within the field of topology and functional analysis, that deals with the study of bounded sets and their properties. The concept was introduced to provide a framework for analyzing space in which notions of boundedness and convergence can be central to understanding the structure of various mathematical objects. A bornology consists of a set equipped with a collection of subsets (called bounded sets) that capture the idea of boundedness.
A Brauner space, often associated with the study of topology and functional analysis, refers to a particular type of mathematical structure that exhibits certain desirable properties. Although the term itself may not be widely recognized or could refer to various contexts depending on the literature, it generally relates to concepts in topology, such as convexity, continuity, or compactness.
Colombeau algebra, often referred to as "Colombeau's algebra" or simply "algebra of generalized functions," is a mathematical framework originally developed by Alain Colombeau in the 1980s to rigorously handle distributions (generalized functions) in the context of multiplication and other operations that are not well-defined in the classical theory of distributions. In classical distribution theory, certain products of distributions, particularly products involving singular distributions (like the Dirac delta function), are not well-defined.
In the context of mathematics, particularly in set theory and topology, the term "cone-saturated" often refers to a property of a specific type of structure, especially in the study of model theory and category theory. While the term may not have a universally agreed-upon definition, it often relates to the concept of saturation, which describes how a model or structure is "rich" or "complete" with respect to certain properties or types of elements.
In mathematics, the term "distribution" can refer to several concepts depending on the context, but it is most commonly associated with two primary areas: 1. **Probability Distribution**: In statistics and probability theory, a distribution describes how the values of a random variable are spread or distributed across possible outcomes. It provides a function that assigns probabilities to different values or ranges of values for a random variable. Common types of probability distributions include: - **Discrete distributions** (e.g.
The Hamburger moment problem is a classical problem in the theory of moments and can be described as follows: Given a sequence of real numbers \( m_n \) (where \( n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots \)), called moments, the Hamburger moment problem asks whether there exists a probability measure \( \mu \) on the real line \( \mathbb{R} \) such that the moments of this measure match the given sequence.
The Müntz–Szász theorem is a result in approximation theory that provides conditions under which a certain type of function can be approximated by polynomials. Specifically, it deals with the approximation of continuous functions on a closed interval using a specific type of series.
James' space, often denoted as \( J \), is a specific type of topological space that is used in functional analysis and related areas of mathematics. It is named after the mathematician Robert C. James, who constructed this space to provide an example of various properties in the context of Banach spaces.
E-OTD stands for "Enhanced Observed Time Difference," which is a technology used in navigation and positioning systems, particularly in the context of mobile communications and location-based services. It enhances the traditional observed time difference (OTD) method by improving the accuracy of location determination through the use of multiple reference points or base stations. In E-OTD, the location of a mobile device is determined by measuring the time it takes for signals to travel from several base stations to the mobile device.
In functional analysis and general topology, the **order topology** is a way to define a topology on a set that is equipped with a total order. This topology is constructed from the order properties of the set, allowing us to study the convergence and continuity of functions in that ordered set. ### Definition: Let \( X \) be a set equipped with a total order \( \leq \).

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
